Making Electronics Recycling Easier
Staples Inc. is expanding its electronics waste recycling program by accepting used computers and monitors that can now be dropped off for a $10 fee at any of the office products chain's 1,400 U.S. locations (including in Montana) during store hours. Any consumer can go to Staples and pay $10 to recycle: any brand computer, laptop, monitor, printer or fax machine. Mice, keyboards and other peripherals are accepted for free. This step by the world's largest office products supplier follows similar initiatives by many computer makers and retailers to confront the growing environmental and public health risk posed by discarded computers and other electronic gadgets containing toxic metals and chemicals.
